Spider and Typewriter

I love spiders, and one of my favorite types is the argiope. It's also known as the "writing spider" because their webs are full of beautiful zigzags that resemble Ns, Ms, Zs, Ws, and so on. Here is a writing spider at her typewriter, enjoying her morning tea.

Original is acrylic ink and watercolor on watercolor paper, about 11"x14". Below is the ink-only version, before I added the watercolor.
